Handset lifter installation

Getting started

The TL7100 lifter works with the TL7610/TL7611 DECT 6.0 cord-

less headset by using the TL7610/TL7611 base adapter to pro-

vide a complete communication solution for most corded tele-

phones. The lifter raises and lowers its switch hook presser to

answer, make and end phone calls. The ring detector provides an

incoming call indication through the cordless headset, so you can

answer calls even if you are away from the telephone base.

3

Connect the TL7610/TL7611 headset base

The cords have colored labels that guide you to plug them into

the correct headset base jacks. The back of the headset base

has color-coded dots above the jacks and the names of the jacks

on the rear bottom piece that correspond to the colored labels

on the cords.

If you subscribe to high-speed Internet service (DSL - digital

subscriber line) through your telephone line, you must install a

DSL filter between the telephone line cord and telephone wall

jack. The filter prevents noise and caller ID problems caused by

DSL interference. Contact your DSL service provider for more

information about DSL filters.

Handset lifter installation

Getting started

Attach the lifter

1. To choose where to install the lifter

on your telephone, look at the space

underneath the corded handset. If there

is a speaker, the lifter should be centered

over the speaker. If there is no speaker,

the lifter should be centered within the

space. Make sure the lifter arm is raised

above the switch hook of the telephone base.

2. Peel off the protective strips from the

adhesive tape at the bottom of the lifter.

3. Carefully place the lifter in the desired

position and press down.

Adjust the height of the lifter arm

Turn the ADJUST LIFTER knob to change the height of the lifter

arm. When in the raised position, the arm should release the

switch hook so you can hear a dial tone. When lowered, the arm

should hold the switch hook down so you cannot hear a dial tone.

Adjust the switch hook presser position

Turn the knob to move the switch hook presser until it is lined

up with your telephone switch hook.

Lifter adjustments and testing

1. Make sure that the headset base is set to

LIFTER MODE and the

LIFTER AUDIO ADJUST setting is correct.

2. Turn the switch hook presser adjustment

knob until the switch hook presser is just

above the switch hook (see page 8).

3. Lower the lifter arm until the switch hook

presser holds the switch hook down.

4. Place the corded handset on the lifter.

5. Press ON/OFF on the headset. The switch

hook presser should rise and release the

switch hook on your telephone base. Make

sure you hear a dial tone through your

headset earpiece.

6. If the switch hook is not fully released, turn

the ADJUST LIFTER knob (see page 8) while

the corded handset is on the lifter. When

the switch hook is fully released, you will

hear a dial tone from the headset.

It may take some adjustments and testing to

find the right position for the lifter. For the

lifter to work properly, the switch hook must

release completely when you press ON/OFF

to turn the headset on. The switch hook must

also be held down completely when you press

ON/OFF to turn the headset off.

Handset lifter installation

Getting started

Installation of large lifter pad (optional)

If the small lifter pad cannot hold the corded handset steadily, you

can attach a large lifter pad (provided) to enlarge the contact area.

1. Hold the large lifter pad in front of the small lifter pad as

shown below.

2. Insert the large lifter pad into the two front gaps of the small

lifter pad.

Installation of anti-slip pad (optional)

The anti-slip pad (provided) helps prevent your corded handset

from slipping from the lifter.

1. Position the anti-slip pad above the small lifter pad.

2. Peel off the protective strip from the anti-slip pad.

3. Carefully return the anti-slip pad to the predetermined position

and replace the corded handset on the lifter.

Install the auxiliary ring detector

1. Insert the auxiliary ring detector plug into the RING DETECT

jack on the lifter.

2. Remove the protective strip from the adhesive tape on the

auxiliary ring detector.

3. Stick the auxiliary ring detector to the center of the corded

phone speaker.

The internal or auxiliary ring detector detects the telephone

ringer and sends a ring tone to the headset earpiece.

If you installed the TL7100 lifter over the top of the corded

phone speaker, the internal ring detector will recognize when the

phone rings. However, if your corded phone speaker is located

elsewhere on the phone, stick the auxiliary ring detector to the

speaker as shown below.
